Looking at 2.0 from a dev standpoint what I see is the foundations of everything needed to achive what they originaly set out to achive. You now have the ability to walk around on stations and ships and for that matter planets. You have the first/third person shooter elements all there and working. You have the space ship flying game foundation fully working.
There still is a good amount of work and polish but what I see if all the foundations of what they where setting out to accoumplish. Not it's just a matter of asset creation, polishing up the parts and filling in the last bits of the missing puzzle.
I am fairly excited to see how it all turns out in the end. What they are pulling off could be something truely pushing to the next gen in terms of gameplay. I can not think of many fps/tps games where you can be involved in a massive space battle (battleing ships on ships and at the same time have fps shooter battles inside said ships all going on at the same time) I can imagine a 20 on 20 space battle breaking out and at the same time on the ships the players are also battling trying to take over the larger ships via fps style combat all while the ships flying about shooting and stuff.
Now the real test is going to be when they start to push up the multiplayer spaces to higher numbers and we see what the lag situation is like.
Interesting because I saw this screenshot which is from the end of October this year that says the same, didn't think much of it because it's Disco Lando saying it http://i.imgur.com/xrKhZHk.jpg
Would be interesting to get some solid data on how many accounts own ships and how many ships they own (just for curiousity's sake). It's clear the claimed number of backers is far smaller than the actual number if those comments are both true, especially when seeing this sort of feedback https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/266621/how-many-ships-do-you-own and/or http://imperialnews.network/june-2015-star-citizen-survey-results/
prediction: a lot of people will be saddened when SC releases and is a victim of overhype. this is not the first time we have seen this.. SWTOR, Watchdogs.. etc games that are overhyped usually are busts. meanwhile E:D wasn't hyped at all and is turning into the best space sim on the market. By the time SC releases, ED will have added so much to the game. It's already awesome.
EDIT: I dont care about subs or drama with this game, i just dislike how it's overhyped and all you can play is literally a tech demo. prob gonna be a bust m8s. I also backed this game early on. Checked in 6 months ago and it's pretty much the same thing it was when they first launched the hangars. I dont get the hype

You should read more Elite:Dangerous player forums (here, or the official E:D forum...) .... quite a bit of criticism about E:D to be found there.
E:D is a fine game, but is still lacking a lot of essential elements. That opinion is coming from an early backer and avid player of E:D. It lacks story. It needs significant improvement in how to play together with other players. Its systems are 99.99999 % empty of anything but procedurally generated planetary system bodies. Its sales strategy (DLC is not sold separately, you are AGAIN buying the main game) is .... debatable.
BUT given enough time BOTH Elite:Dangerous AND Star Citizen will IMHO be awesome games. With a little patience and a lot of playtesting and incremental improvement.
Have fun

It will be interesting to see how both games weigh up in 2 to 3 years time regardless of which one you prefer.
EDIT: blind fanboyism will be the undoing of SC

I don't even have to be a SC backer (and I'm still not) to know that SC is a bit "more" than a Hangar Simulator...thats so 2013/2014 news...
Personally I can't wait for ED and SC to be both fleshed out more, both are too bare-bones for my money. So Eve Online will have to do until they both become proper games.
Very excited for both SC 2.0 and ED Horizons. I don't understand why people cant enjoy both games or have to pick one game and hating another. Its stupid and without logic.
Like I said, I am a early backer. I checked in a few months ago, and I still could not fly the ship I purchased, really just able to look at it in my fucking hangar. Don't tell me. There were some other module thing where you can race or some dumb shit and there was also this combat module that's supposed to be multiplayer "death-match" one was called swarm or some shit and i forget the other one but there was 2. Im guessing it may have worked for some but for ME it never would work. Don't tell me about my experience if you haven't even played the damn game dude. Biggest waste of money for me until they make it an actual game. I dont give a rats ass about all this alpha testing the alpha shit. I will wait for the game whenever it comes out, but PLEASE stop glorifying this shit as if its the best space sim out when its not even out or a game. It's literally a demo.
SInce you quoted me I was responding to Your boy who said that there is more "Stuff" in SC compared to ED. Do you really actually agree with this? SC has more to do than ED? Since when? What do you SC fans mean by "Stuff" ? Content? Ships? You are comparing a unfinished game to a finished game that is adding DLC as we speak. Think about what you milk drinking fanboys are saying. I really hate when people overhype shit.. furthermore you dont even realize how much all this hype is hurting the genre.
Again. I support both games and want both to be great. My issue is all this extra blind hype shit from people like you. Defending the game but you never even played it.... milkdrinker.
